I just told you in the other thread, your opinion is moot. You aren't qualified and
you have demonstrated confusion over numerous points that everyone else already knows.

Stop trolling my proof thread with "THIS ISN'T PROOF" dozens of times.

If you think my induction only works on finite prefixes and not over entire infinite expansions
then YOU prove that assertion.

If you have no other clear objection then shush. (I am aware of the diagonal proof).

That is circular, completely contrary to what a proof is.

FFS. I'm answering your constant idiotic retorts based on zero qualifications in the field.

I don't think that's actually how proofs work.

I've already shown that your induction doesn't produce a list of all
infinite sequences, because 1/9 isn't in the list - it would have
infinitely many predecessors.

Perhaps we have different notions about what constitutes a proof. Are
you under the impression that a proof consists of a set of assertions
that no one has challenged, (or in your case, that no one whose
qualifications you accept has challenged)?
